I agree re: hangouts. I like the idea of it but in reality you are still just watching your friends sit at their computers! I find if i want to see my friends then i'll go and see them, i'll only use instant messaging when i can't see them so the hangout idea isn't appealing to me in reference to real time video chat. However, it is great for friends in other countries for a skype-like feature. I think Google+'s main difference from Facebook is that it has better security and Google is a more trusted brand than Facebook. I reckon that Google+ could become much more than what it currently is as Google adds new features, but many people who aren't in the digital industry won't have much interest in it as a social network as Facebook is sufficient enough for them as it is. I recently wrote about Google+ and why people do/don't like it, take a look and let me know your thoughts!
